Which is the better option; doing computer engineering at SVNIT-Surat, Gujarat or b.tech in ict at DA-IICT Gandhinagar, Gujarat?
I am a resident of Surat, and SVNIT is very close to my house. During my college admissions, I was in the same dilemma. So I spent about a week at both the colleges to make a more informed choice.
One of the professors at SVNIT suggested that I opt for B.Tech ICT at DAIICT over Computer Engineering at SVNIT. He told me that DAIICT is a better option for computer related branches. Here are some pros of joining DAIICT as a B.Tech ICT student-
- The placements at DAIICT are comparatively better.
- Though the NITs have an established brand name, the reputation of DAIICT is better than SVNIT in top companies like Amazon, Morgan Stanley, MAQ, etc.
- It has a greater number of GSoC qualifiers, and a better environment for Open Source Coding.
- The environment is superior for competitive coding as well, and students participate in great numbers in online programming contests on platforms like codeforces, etc.
- A large number of students prepare for exams like GRE, CAT, etc.
Thus, a B.Tech ICT at DAIICT is better in comparison to Computer Engineering at SVNIT.

Is NIT Surat better than NIT Calicut for mechanical?
As one of my friends is in the Computer Engineering Department of NIT Surat. I might be able to answer the question.
NIT Surat is well known for its Mechanical Branch. Compared to all branches, the quality of professors in the Mechanical Department is far better than the other branches.
If you have any interest in robotics we have Drishti, a student club that is completely dedicated to robotics and SAE for designing cars.
Thus, it is suggested that if you want to pursue mechanical engineering then go for NIT Surat. Whichever institute you choose you won't regret much. NIT Calicut also has good reviews on the internet.

How is ECE at IIT, Guwahati?
ECE department of IIT Guwahati is known for its excellent research work and quality of education. The department has many professors who are specialized in Signal processing and related areas of electronics. However, the VLSI and Microelectronics group has less number of faculties around 5-6 while electromagnetics and microwaves with only two faculty.
The reason why I am telling you about the faculty count is that the optional courses and projects offered will be having approximately the same ratio of streams as that of faculty expertise. For those interested in a core career or research work need to consider this point seriously.
If you aren’t sure about your career prospects yet, explore options like IT, financial service, or MBA. Students of this branch
Is Shoolini University is Great Place to Study B.Tech?
My cousin did his B.Tech from Shoolini University. Here are his insights.
- They mainly focus on these few branches - MBA, B.Com, BIOTECH.
- The management system is not good at all and you will see an increase in certain charges every semester.
- Regarding the faculty, the aforementioned branches have the best faculty in the university, and in other remaining branches don’t have that good faculty.
- The labs don’t have adequate equipment. University has old technique machines and also not have some major lab that some engineer is looking for like material science lab for a mechanical engineer.
- The students face so many problems for placement and internship programs. Only 40% of students are placed, that's not even half.
- The fees are very expensive as compared to the level of facilities they provide and in comparison to other universities /colleges in the same category.
Therefore, if you are looking for a good college for pursuing B.Tech, Shoolini University might not be a great choice. Apart from focused branches, cleanliness, natural environment, and friendly peers, there is not much to mention about the institute.
How do I get BTech admission in KIET Ghaziabad?
The eligibility criteria is the same for all the branches of BTech in KIET. You just need to pass 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as compulsory subjects and at least 45% of marks in aggregate. For SC/ST candidates, a 5% relaxation in marks will be applicable.
Additionally, you will also need a valid JEE-Main score. UPTAC registration and counselling for BTech admission will begin from July. 85% of the total seats will be filled via JEE-Main.
For direct admission, you can simply go to their website and fill up their online application form. You will be called for a written exam and an in-person interview when the candidate is shortlisted by the institute based on their PCM merit at the 10+2 level. After passing both the written exam and the interview, you will get the admission offer.
What is better: EEE at BITS Hyderabad or CS at VIT Vellore?
As a former EEE student at BITS Goa, I would not recommend taking up EEE at BITS Hyderabad if you want a career in the field of software engineering.
Here are the reasons why-
- The coding involved in EEE is not enough. You’ll code in MATLAB, which is rarely used in the IT sector. You’ll have to devote extra time to learning Python, Java, and other languages.
- CS involves much more than coding, all of which you’ll miss out on.
- Elective courses like OS, DSA, Comp Arch have very limited seats, and not everyone gets to pick them. Also, you’ll get these courses by your third or fourth year. By then you’ll either be under too much pressure to complete your main syllabus or it’ll be too late because the placement season will have begun.
- Top IT companies don’t open for non CS candidates, and even for the companies that do, you’ll have to compete with CS students.
- BITS will give you all the necessary exposure, quality education and opportunities. However, as a non IT student you’ll still find difficulty in getting an IT job via campus placements.
Based on all these points, I would recommend choosing CSE at VIT for better job prospects in the IT sector.
How is the CUSAT fire and safety branch?
BTech Safety and Fire Engineering at CUSAT is a lucrative branch with great career opportunities. Almost 90% of students graduate with a placement offer. But the career outcome of the institute is limited since it is not a mainstream branch. You may face problems in the future if you want to go for competitive examinations like GATE. Go for this branch, only if you are sure that you want a career in this field. Since not many institutes offer this engineering degree, the competition is less. It is easy to secure a good placement opportunity.
Course Highlights:
- This course is great for people who want to make their career in Process Safety Engineering or Technical Safety Engineering.
- It is not true that students of this branch get positions like Safety Officer or Fire Officer after completing the degree. Students of this course get a little better technical jobs.
- There are many cool small companies in the vicinity of Chennai, Pune, Bangalore, or NCR. These companies offer good technical jobs. Although the initial salary package may be less, you will have the opportunity to improve your career.
- You can also opt for off-campus placements and apply to companies directly.
The above discussion should give you an idea about the Safety and Fire Engineering at CUSAT.
